What You Need

1

pkg.
(4 oz.) BAKER'S Unsweetened Chocolate

3/4

cup
butter

2

cups
sugar

3

eggs

1

tsp.
vanilla

1

cup
flour

1

cup
chopped PLANTERS Walnuts

Assorted decorating gels

Assorted candies

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

LINE 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends extending over sides. Grease foil; set aside. Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add sugar; mix well. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour and nuts until well blended; spread into prepared pan.

BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool completely.

A suggestion for those concerned about the leftover pieces when using the cookie cutters--they would be perfect for making cake pops on a stick or truffles; both are really popular now. Add some icing, roll into balls, dip in melted chocolate, and decorate if desired.

I have no idea how they came up w/ the idea that you get 2 dozen brownies out of this recipe. I had a feeling that was wrong, so I made 2 pans and STILL only got 20 brownies total. They looked really cute and everyone loved them at Easter dinner, but there was a lot of unusable excess. I will probably not make this again.

I was so excited to make these for Easter - the serving size said it made 2 dozen brownies. Can someone tell me how they pull this off, when using the 3" cookie cutter as they say, I could only squeeze 8 brownies!! This is such a cute idea and they're delicious, but I was disappointed when I realized it wouldn't be enough to serve my whole family. I just had to cut them into squares. :(

I have made these brownies several times. They are wonderful and everyone raves about them. I usualy put a chocolate glaze on mine.

My youngest daughter requests this recipe every time her chocolate craving hits, or when she rumages through my recipies! We have a lot of fun working on this together.

My husband says these are the best brownies ever and asks me to make them before I leave on each business trip. The only problem is they are so good and tempting, they don't fit into my healthy living menu. Oh well, just one, or two can't hurt!

It was very good and gave it to many friends with children.
There is another picture that was a cupcake and had bunny face on top. There is no recipe to how to make it. I thought it was cute for kids to help with

This is my all-time favorite brownie recipe. I've been making the recipe since it first appeared on the Baker's box more than 10 years ago. Love the cookie cutter twist on an old favorite.
